UFC 328 has the kind of lineup that doesn’t come around too often, with a main event that feels genuinely unpredictable. Khamzat Chimaev puts his unbeaten record on the line against Sean Strickland, a former champion who has made a career out of dragging opponents into uncomfortable, high-volume fights. Chimaev’s pressure and grappling have overwhelmed almost everyone he’s faced so far, but Strickland’s durability and ability to keep a steady pace over five rounds could make this far more competitive than it looks on paper.
There’s plenty more beyond the headline fight. The flyweight title is also up for grabs as Joshua Van takes on Tatsuro Taira in a matchup that should be fast from the opening bell. Heavyweight action comes with Alexander Volkov stepping in again, while the welterweight bout between Sean Brady and Joaquin Buckley adds a completely different dynamic to the card. It’s one of those events where the quality doesn’t really dip, no matter which part of the card you’re watching.
The event takes place on May 10 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. For fans watching from India, it’s an early start across the board. The early prelims begin at 2:30 AM IST, prelims follow at 4:30 AM IST, and the main card kicks off at 6:30 AM IST. If everything runs as expected, the main event should take place somewhere around 8:30 AM IST.
